Participation<br />
<strong>Chemistry</strong> is a science, and science is a verb; therefore, participation is a vital<br />
component to your success in chemistry. In order for this class to work its best,<br />
we need you to contribute positively. Simply showing up and going through the<br />
motions will not increase your participation score. Below is a list of some of the<br />
ways that your actions will effect your participation grade.<br />
Positive Contributions Increase Your Participation Score:<br />
You maintain a notebook complete with lab write-ups and reflections<br />
You think critically before speaking/presenting<br />
You make detailed observations<br />
You attempt to complete all example problems<br />
You clean-up after yourself AND others<br />
You work well with your lab partner(s)<br />
You help others understand<br />
You share when appropriate<br />
Others value your ideas/observations<br />
You add unique perspectives<br />
Negative Contributions Decrease Your Participation Score:<br />
You neglect to take notes, write lab reflections, or do example problems<br />
You're not prepared (e.g. no calculator, markers or notebook)<br />
You do other stuff (e.g. homework, read a book, iPod)<br />
You neglect to clean-up or put stuff away<br />
You do not follow directions<br />
You play with or break lab equipment<br />
You pose a danger to yourself and others during lab<br />
You do not respect your classmates<br />
Remember, we need you. Your opinions/ideas/observations are important and<br />
need to be shared to help you and others understand. A team never succeeds<br />
when its players just show up and go through the motions.
